LSU Star Aneesah Morrow Leaves SEC Tournament with Injury
LSU women’s basketball standout Aneesah Morrow suffered an injury during the SEC Tournament, raising concerns about her availability for the rest of the postseason. The Tigers were in the middle of a crucial matchup when Morrow went down, visibly in pain, prompting immediate attention from the training staff.
Morrow, a key player for LSU this season, has been instrumental in the team’s success with her scoring, rebounding, and defensive presence. Transferring from DePaul ahead of the 2023-24 season, she quickly became a dominant force alongside Angel Reese, forming one of the most formidable frontcourts in the country. Her injury is a significant blow to the Tigers as they prepare for the NCAA Tournament.
Head coach Kim Mulkey addressed the situation postgame, stating that the severity of Morrow’s injury is still being evaluated. “We’re hoping for the best, but we won’t know anything definitive until she undergoes further testing,” Mulkey said.
Morrow’s absence could pose a major challenge for LSU, particularly on the defensive end, where she has been a relentless rebounder and shot-blocker. She has averaged double figures in points and rebounds this season, making her one of the team’s most valuable assets.
LSU fans and teammates are hoping for a speedy recovery, with the NCAA Tournament just around the corner. If Morrow is unable to return, the Tigers will need other players to step up in her place. As the team awaits further medical updates, all eyes are on how LSU will adjust and move forward in their quest for another deep postseason run.
